Structure, governance and management

Governing Documentation

West Harton Churches Action Station is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 2nd March 1998 and was registered with the Charities Commission on 9th June 1999. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. Every member of the company undertakes to contribute such amount as maybe required (not exceeding £1) to the company's assets if it should be wound up while he or she is a member.

Appointment of Trustees

The Directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law under the company's Articles and are known as members of the Board of Directors.

As set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the number of directors shall not be less than three but (unless otherwise determined by ordinary resolution) shall not be subject to any maximum.

At the first annual general meeting all the directors shall retire from office, and at every subsequent annual general meeting one-third of the directors who are subject to retirement by rotation or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, the number nearest to one third shall retire from office; but, if there is only one director who is subject to retirement by rotation, he / she shall retire.

Trustee Induction and Training

New Trustees are familiarised to the project, their legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the governing document (Memorandum and Articles of Association), the Board of Directors and the decision-making process, the business plan and financial performance of the charity. Directors are encouraged to attend appropriate training events that will facilitate the undertaking of their role.

Risk Management

Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity might face. Significant external risks to funding and the nature of funding across the Community and Voluntary Sector, have led, in the past, to the development of a long-term strategic plan allowing the diversification of funding streams, the development of our asset base and managed workspace.

Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the centre including the required insurance cover.

Although we no longer hold the Investors in People Standard, we continue to implement procedures and policies to ensure consistent quality is maintained and reviewed from time to time.

Organisation

Action Station South Tyneside Limited has a Board of Directors not less than three but with no maximum. The Board meets monthly and there are sub-committees covering personnel, finance and funding. The Board of Directors are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. At present the Board has eight members from a variety of professional, religious and community backgrounds relevant to the work of the charity.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

The Centre Manager (CEO) has responsibility for the day-to-day provision of services ensuring that the charity delivers those services specified and that targets are met. He is also responsible for the operational management of the Centre, supervision of the staff team and volunteers (including induction, appraisals and individual training plans), also ensuring that the team continues to develop their skills and working practices. He oversees the financial management of the charity with support from the Board and ensures that health and safety, risk management and other policies are adhered to and fit for purpose.

Objectives and activities

Our Vision

To respond to high levels of unemployment, poverty and hardship. Supporting people on the fringes of society and those with additional needs in South Shields and surrounding areas.

Our Mission

To provide a place where individuals and groups can access services that will enhance their life chances and wellbeing. This will lead to a general uplift in the quality of life in our community.

Our Values

We are a “values” driven organisation and committed to the integrity and respect for the individual. We focus on identifying a person’s needs and potential by working in a holistic way to deliver services that will enable them to achieve their ambitions. All this is delivered in a safe and friendly environment by our dedicated team of staff, volunteers and partner organisations

Achievements and Performance

At the last report we stated that we had not only stabilised usage from pre-pandemic levels but had exceeded these (6520 footfall), during this financial period we have seen a dramatic increase with a recorded footfall of 14271, which again highlights the increased needs of our community and as a reflection of our standing with and our ability to support residents. Data also shows that 23% attended centre-based activities, 39% training, 22% café and16% personal support (finance and health). Comparison with last year is not symbiotic due to the increase attendances, but highlight Socialisation, Skills Development and personal finance and wellbeing as being the usage focus, keeping us in line with our aims and objectives.

Again, we maintained our existing partnerships, but have also extended these organisational affiliations with (new)WEA, Springboard, Foundation of Light, Total Futures providing none and accredited training within the centre, while Public Health Practitioners, North East Autism Society, Every Turn Mental Health, Stroke Association supporting health and wellbeing. This partnership work has also seen our room hire remain stable with a small decrease of £351 this year, but as we move forward further contracts are been negotiated, so we anticipate maintenance with a small increase next year, as we are reaching our physical room capacity limit.

In addition to these partner programmes, we have maintained our exiting activities and develop new activities including;

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

We also continued our open days and developed a new employability and training open day with attendance from the DWP and our training providers. And for the first time the DWP used our centre for their own open day event this year. In each of these we again had an increase in attendance.

Our Volunteering programme saw 99 volunteers attend our 6-week placement offer, all received basic training (enabling them to work and volunteer in other organisations) and from these 18 have found employment. While our job club saw 162 people supported and trained with 36 finding employment.

We have also continued to maintain and develop our partnerships, seeing an increase in the volunteer placement programme, a partnership with the local DWP, as well as establishing new work with Ingeus (working with probation), a new Domestic Violence Team, new accredited training providers, Eden Training Academy and Learning Concepts, whilst extending other existing partner involvement

Financial Review

Having followed a reduction of our major costs we have stabilised our outgoings and matched with our increased income generation has enabled us to start to build an operational reserve, which was a major objective set out in last year’s report and in our financial strategy.

Our internal financial systems have proven productive with the introduction of an updated cloud-based accounts software package and Book-keeper, allowing for instant real-time financial information and more accurate forecasts. This year we have introduced into this system our invoicing and petty cash accounts.

Following last year’s reduction of our major costs (salaries), through natural end of contracts, retirement and the loss of one post, we have stabilised our outgoings, while recruiting a new facility operative and book-keeper and also extending our volunteering opportunities and capacity. Plus, although our usage has almost doubled in the last year, we have been able to accommodate this increase and it is a credit to the staff team who have pulled together and shared tasks. Using our internal accounts, we see that the next financial year should see us continue to stabilise, although new grant funding avenues will have to be our fund-raising strategy as some of our longer-term grants will be coming to an end and new sources will have to be sourced. Although we continued slow progression towards re-building an operational reserve, acknowledged as good practice in last year’s report, as part of the continuation of our financial strategy.

Small company provisions

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

11

Action Station South Tyneside Limited

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold property - 16% straight line Fixtures and fittings - 20% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of fixed assets (continued)

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

4. Limited by guarantee

West Harton Churches Action Station Limited is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not have a share capital.

Every member of the company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.
